THUlliDAY, NOVEBCMEK CBB MKWftJOraOiAL .:-0. BY D. SCOTT POOLE , That colony was lost, but the late Hamilton McMillan wrote a history which proved to Hamil ton and me that what was left of that colony are now in Robeson. I remember that the Charles ton earthquake came on August 31, 1886, but I hit the wrong key and made a 4, and I made a 6 with a pencil, but the 4 showed up in the Medley. I must see the key on the typewriter and give it a solar plexus. I hope there is not a man on the face of this earth who is as Ugly as some of the pictures in the daily papers of prominent ministers and others. It is a strange thing how fond some people who come to town are of driving in on Edinboro Ave. and they come that way even if they get in the mire. Circumstancial evidence shows that 60 names on White’s logbook are found among certain classes of citizens of Robeson which are not like any other names found elsewhere. A French explorer, or some one else just as good, explored the east coast of North Carolina and dis covered the Cape Fear, and the river of the same name, in 1580. phabet, and one hundred and twenty in the Chinese alphabet. Aren’t ybu glad you are not a little Chinese child? Whetiier McMillan was right, it matters little, but he has made a betW showing than any other historian. And those people men tioned are good farmers and are industrious, which has never been said of any other Indians. The news of today shows that children are being arrested and jailed for. stealing, which was un heard of in my youth. An all season show is a better money maker than locating lost colonists, so those Indians who do not like to be call Croatans will stay like they are. And gambling has grown into a monster crime. Law enforcement officers are being accused of as sisting gamblers in their wicked work. The gallant Sir Walter Raleigh gained the esteem of Queen EliZ' abeth because he used his topcoat to keep her out of a mudpuddle; she aided him in shipping 108 men (I do not know how many women and children) to take shipping to the coast of North Carolina, and landed them on Roanoke Islant^.

Representing THE TRAVELERS, Hartford The inhabitants of the world, the heathen world in particular, do not like America. And, I be lieve that is due to jealousy. American beats all in charity. 1 In reading the Bible, you will find that a war was almost a continuous thing. And the bad p&rt of it is they went to war for the booty they captured. Penmanship is an acquired art. You learn to make ten different marks, and these parts are used in the making with your pen the letters of the alphabet. This old world is rotten as Satan wants it. The only hope for the world is through Christianity. Hiking Along —By— J.

While the Marsh Hawk breeds throughout Canada and the Unit ed States, it does so only rarely in the southeastern States. It spends its ^'inters south to Pana ma and the West Indies. Its range in North Carolina includes the entire state, but it is quite rare in the summer. However, it is a common winter visitor to this part of the State, and one has but to be observant, while riding past fields and marshes to see this hawk in its characteristic graceful flight, 0 r.— There are forty-two sounds in the twenty-six letters of the al phabet, and you learn well these letters and their sounds.

This is the hawk that flys low to the ground, skimming just a lew feet above fields and hedgerows in search of food. The approved common name for this bird is “Marsh Hawk,” and both male and female are easily iden tified by the conshicious white rump that can be spotted for some distance, when the bird is in flight. The food of this hawk is varied and consists, among other things, of rats, mice, frogs, snakes, in sects and chipmunks. Occasion ally it feeds on poultry, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Of 392 stomachs of Marsh Hawks examined by eight reli able observers, only 10 had re cently fed on poultry and game, such as grouse and young wild ducks. These birds, in the vi cinity of Thomasville, Ga., when overwintering, feed extensively on the '^cotton rat, a mannal quite destructive to quail eggs. Si, like many of our hawks, the Marsh Hawk does more good than harm and thus merits protection. The adult male of this hawk is a pale bluish-gray with a , white rump and belly and a gray tail barred with black. The female Driving License Renewal Required Motorist who obtained renewal of their driver’s license in 1947 under the re-issuance program and whose birthdaysrifaU early in 1951 win be required to obtain secand renewals in the next few months, the Department of Mo tor Vehicles reminded persons in that category today. Motorists who are uncertain about the expiration date of their licenses should refer to the lower right hand corner of their pres ent license cards. These motorists will be permitted to seek second renewal 30 days in advance of the expiration date, which falls on their birth date. The majority will have surnames beginning with A or B, but a few will fall in other alphabetical groups. Under the driver’s licensing program, licenses expire on the birthday of the motorists four years after, re-issuance. Since the re-issuance program began last July 1, 1947, some motorists will not have held their licenses quite four years, the Department point ed out, but in setting up the re issuance schedule, it was neces sary to place the expiration date on the birthday nearest July 1. Expiration date for these motor ists win on fheir birthdays exactly four years from the 1951 renewal The Department requested that motorists seeking second renewal bring their present licenses with them to their examining stations. The license will be accepted as evidence that the applicant has passed the road test and he will be required to take only the rules of the road, eye and road signs phases of the examination. The nunaber of present driver’s lic ence will be his permanent lic ense number. A space will be provided on the new license cards for blood type, which will be placed on the card upon presentation of evid ence of blood type. Since the in clusion of this information is a public service and voluntary with the applicant, failure to present this evidence will not be reason to deny issuance of the license, the Department stressed. -0 Church Landscaping Circular Published The State College Extension Service announces publication of a new 12-page illustrated circular intended to provide practical help in improving the appearance of church grounds. • Entitled “Landscaping Church Grounds,” the circular was pre- petted by Joba H, Barrto, sioD landscape speeiaiSet. It eovcw such subiects as paorking driveways and walks, improviqg old cemetery lots, and, pianaing new cemeteries. Ifeawii^ are used to present examples of the principles stressed. Harris emphasizes that the va lue of initial good planning may be lost unless arrangements are made to maintain the grounds.in good condition. “Mamtenance,” he says, “is where most of us fall down—we do a good job of land scaping and then go home and forget it. In a few years, it all has to be done over again.” In brief foreword. Harris says he at times is “depressed” to see so many unattractr/e rural churches” in North Carobna. He asserts that a church and its grounds should reflect God’s han diwork, and he adds that “a well- kept lawn, trees, and .•'.hrubs will make any church bmiding look better.” Pastors, church building cont- mittees. and other ;nterested In dividuals and groups may obtain a free copt*' of the publication from the county farm agent or by writing the Agricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh.
